How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
Psalm 137:4
Daily Thought
Jesus wept.
~John 11:35
Home was heaven, but he let go and came to a world of sin and hurt, suffering and injustice, and most of all, death. His friend Lazarus lay dead and the sisters suffered and the crowds cried.
How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
~Psalm 137:4
Jesus was in a foreign land.
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
~John 11:25
But he knows the way home.
"Lazarus, come out!" Jesus called in a loud voice. "Take off the grave clothes and let's go."
For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
~Psalm 116:8-9

Daily Prayer
Father, it is good to sing praises of hope, because Your Son has rescued us. You have not left us in despair, in sin, in death, but You have given us the certainty of heaven, of home, of eternity in Your presence. Therefore, we sing with joy.
Your Kingdom has come. We live in a land foreign to our heavenly citizenship. May we serve the King of kings, so that the world may see what a wonder You are, share our hope, and sing.
Amen.
